SIR Sean Connery looks like he’s back in the swing in time for the referendum campaign after recovering from an illness.

The James Bond legend wasn’t expected to play any role in the final push for Yes votes.

But the 83-year-old looked tanned and healthy, limbering up for a round on a stunning Bahamas golf course last week.

Resembling Indiana Jones rather than 007, Sir Sean teed off in a dapper safari hat.

The screen star, who lives on New Providence Island in the sun-drenched paradise with wife Micheline, is expected to join the campaign before September 18.

Sir Sean, a close friend of First Minister Alex Salmond, previously said he would move back to Scotland after a Yes vote.

He sent a message of support to Yes Scotland at their launch in Edinburgh two years ago but has not been involved in the campaign since. However, he is now expected to play some role in the run-up to the historic vote.
